Your post is very politicized. There is no use arguing politics.

The whole point of democracy is arguing politics. There is plenty of use in it. That's why we have freedom of speech and freedom of the press, for example. Plus deliberative bodies as a key element of every level of government.

Also, that you construct it as politicized suggests you have a political opinion in opposition to women being treated as equals. If you oppose that, well, then you oppose that. But it would also explain why a) you insist on labeling views you don't like as "very politicized" and b) why you preemptively declare that there's no point in arguing. To me it reads as a slightly more grown up version of the hands-over-the-ears style of argumentation.
